For creative people....Your thoughts on your Muse?

There are a lot of thoughts on muses and being creative (especially when it's not happening) that have been gathered on this page of my website if you want to check them out:

(... click on the category called "Creativity & Inspiration"...)

(my website has mostly to do with polymer clay, but the muse stuff would be similar for many other pursuits too)

Good luck!

My muse has the unfortunate habit of running off to Tahiti when I think I need her. But she does show up once in awhile and when she does, she's full of suggestions. I can't keep up with all the things that flood my mind. Because most of her suggestions deal with the computer or typewriter (I'm old) I have named her Clicko. She has a fondness for chocolate.

I'm kind of on the other side of the issue. My muse won't leave me alone, and forces me to start project after project, then prods me because I don't finish them all (only some). I often have to say no, no, no to the ideas that run around in my head all the time

I keep my muse in my head..it's called my inner voice.

I feed it different things like lovely spring breezes,fresh flowers and sometimes dark earthy things like well...you know.

Johnny Depp inspires me (grin)

my muse is male and totally messed up

Mine always seems to be on vacation when she's not getting in barroom brawls.
